France-based Airbus is in discussions with the Andhra Pradesh government for a proposed manufacturing facility in Anantapur district.
The state government has proposed the location for the project, which is close to Bengaluru, on the Andhra Pradesh border. It could involve a components manufacturing unit at this location.
A team from Airbus is also in talks with the Anantapur collector for a 250 acre site for the project.
Post bifurcation, the Andhra Pradesh government is keen on developing new airports and attracting investments, and has slashed VAT on aviation turbine fuel. The government undertook this approach in order to position the state as a hub for airlines.
